Hi! My name is Jerry, the Wonder Pup and I have super powers. It should be plain from one look that I am wonderful but for those of you who are not used to dogs with super powers, let me explain...my Pyr mom had an 'indiscretion' with another dog and had an “Oops” litter. A very nice lady who obviously recognized super powers when she saw them, swooped down and got me to put in rescue. I am a big clue that my dad might have been black, possibly a Border Collie. Black is a compilation of all colors and clearly that has to be a wonderful thing. I mean look at it this way - I can get as dirty as I want and you will never know, at least until I track it all over the house, of course :) But that brings me to another wonderful thing about me...I have an easy wash-n-wear coat so bath time is a snap. I am wonderfully friendly to people, including children, and with other dogs. I haven’t met any cats yet but I am sure they will be impressed with my super powers also. I love to play although I have to be careful when playing with the 100 pound adult Pyrs in my foster home so I don’t overwhelm them with my super strength and speed. Ok, that might be a little bit of an exaggeration but I am sure it will be true when I am older. But my super powers extend to the mind as well. I am super smart and already know sit and will do a sit/stay for 10-15 whole seconds now! I know “come” and I understand that fetching is not all about chasing the ball but actually bringing it back, too. I also know “leave it” and “no” which is not very extraordinary because those are commands all pups hear A LOT. After a fun-filled day of playing, exploring and protecting the home front, I can morph into a super cuddler (didn’t know that was a super power, did you?). I am Jerry, the Wonder Pup and I want to bring my superior talents to your home!

About Us: National Great Pyrenees Rescue (NGPR) is not a shelter. We are a not-for-profit, tax-exempt coalition of Pyr rescuers and rescue groups. We save Pyrs and Pyr mixes across the country and place them in approved foster homes so we know how they will interact with your family. Please consider adopting or fostering. Every dog who is fostered or adopted makes room for another Pyr coming out of a kill shelter. Prior to adoption, NGPR dogs are fostered for a minimum of two weeks (usually more), spayed or neutered and fully vetted. Dogs coming from out of area are certified with a USDA health certificate before going to their new homes. Our rescuers adhere to the highest placement standards and will take back any dog whose adoption does not succeed. Visit www.nationalpyr.org to learn more about us, our mission and our breed.
